Really well delivered the headsets talk you round the splendour of the palaces state rooms. A real honour when you think it is still the Royals home.

The trip was very entertaining thanks to the live explanations from the employee. The service on board is also great, you can order something via QR code which is then delivered to your seat. All in all recommended.

The guide we had on the walking tour portion was what made this excursion.. it's too bad they don't go thru the palace with you.. He was very informative, funny and gave us insight we wouldn't have had if we just booked tickets thru the palace site.. but people remember to tip your guide! Felt bad for him because we didn't see any other "group" on our tour tip him besides us...

A really special place. Very well organised and we adored the Ravens. 🐦‍⬛ we were quite worried about all the queues from reading online reviews but my tip would be to pick 9 am and get there soon after and I don't think we queued for five minutes even though the queue looked long.

Our visit to Stonehenge was more than perfect! Everything ran smoothly. The bus was very comfortable. Steven, our guide to Stonehenge, was very pleasant. We couldn't have wished for anything better. I can't recommend it highly enough!

My experience at this show was definitely unique. In the first few minutes, I was worried that it would be a disaster, but very rapidly I became immersed in the experience; and by the end I was determined to come back to see it again. It was funny, sad, illuminating about creativity, and the musical performances were excellent. It has now been 8 hours since the end of the show, and I have not yet been able to stop thinking about it.
